The Moon that Embraces the Sun isn’t just a gripping story, it’s visually such a treat to watch. A good sageuk calms the modern viewer sensibilities down, reminds us to slow our narrative pacing requirements and just let the story come to us at it’s natural pace. MoonSun is so far doing a whiz bang job at that, with the … Continue reading →
I’m going to be so sad when Office Girls. This drama has been my steady companion for months now, always good for a laugh and some swooning once a week. It’ll likely end at episode 23, though TTV will preempt one episode this month since it’s Lunar New Year that week. Part of me thinks Kai Er has been wreaking … Continue reading →
What a wild ride the promotional circuit for Wild Romance has been. My interest in this sucker keeps revving upward against my better judgment, until this final long preview for the drama tips it over into the OMG-I-Love-It edge. WR has tons of physical humor which the two leads are completely game to tackle. I find it funny and good-natured, … Continue reading →
There was no preview for episode 20 at the end of last week’s episode 19 of Office Girls, which left me totally chafing at the bit. I take OG for granted, but the second something is gone, I feel bereft. Such is the strength of my affection for it. The previews are finally out, and it looks like a doozy. … Continue reading →
How fast time flies, since it’s time to say goodbye to yet another drama. As much as the last few episodes of Me Too, Flower! have been unable to tap back into the crackling intensity and great character and story development of the first half of the drama, I find myself really jazzed for the finale. I think I love … Continue reading →
I still lub Office Girls a ton. Even moreso now that I’m not recapping each episode in full. The joy is back in my watch because I can enjoy it the way it was meant to be watched, with not much analysis and plenty of good spirit. Maybe it’s the Christmas cheer starting to hit me full force, but I’m … Continue reading →
Oh heyall no! Me Too, Flower! better have some tricks up its sleeve, because the preview for episode 13 pissed me off. The story trajectory appears to be a blend of the angst seen in My Name is Kim Sam Soon crossed with Lie to Me. It can be a feint, or temporary, or necessary to get Jae Hee over … Continue reading →
You guys must’ve noticed that this week’s Office Girl’s recap was nowhere to be seen. Truth be told I’ve been extremely busy, but I’ve also discovered my urge to recap OG has dissipated. I still love watching it, but so little is happening I simply have nothing to talk about. I don’t want any OG recapping duties to mar my … Continue reading →
[M2F recap coming much later, so don’t ask where it is] The cast of the upcoming live-action adaptation of the manga Skip Beat attended a press conference today in Taipei to drum up interest for the premiere of the drama this coming Sunday. Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae jetted into town for less six hours just for this important event. … Continue reading →
I’m just hoping that Jae In’s discovery of the whole truth and nothing but the truth about what In Woo’s dad did (and is still trying to do) will rocket Man of Honor into overdrive. Or maybe just not get more stupid and boring, because I don’t have time right now to follow a drama that can’t even be entertaining … Continue reading →
I’m still loving Office Girls, a drama that meets my expectation every week for an hour’s worth of chuckles and smiles. What’s not to love about that? Though I do worry that I’m inching closer and closer to shipping Alice and Roy as a RL couple and that would not be good because I’ll like be disappointed as usual. But … Continue reading →
I dropped In Time With You a few weeks ago, electing not to aggravate myself and remember it for the things I enjoyed, figuring that the drama would drag out You Qing and Da Ren’s murky best friends-in love with each other relationship until the very end. Looks like I was right, as the drama is headed towards its finale … Continue reading →
Yay, happiness is a new episode of Office Girls on Sundays. And episode 16 was just that, a shot of happiness straight to the warm spot in my brain. This drama does feel episodic, the most I’ve ever seen in a TW prime time idol drama, even if there are larger narrative constructs looming over the characters. The drama takes … Continue reading →
